Tho Human Hand

Take caro- OF your hands. Few
things are MS agreeable aa The pres
sure OF warm, soft haud. The pee
who remembers bis best girl, now
alas! his lost girl, says,--
II the world wcrr mine. | yiyn It ALL,
All for one touch ct her bcautfr
hands.
aud Tcnnyson, in ono Of .ho bes
things he ever wrote, says
And OH for the touch Of II vanished
hand,
And the sound of voice that i,
still.
A bony han | itself is no credit tc
anybody, ary more than dirty hau1.
Work is credit to all; but oven those
who perform tho roughos, Buycrest
labor may havo agreeable hands
They owe il 20 Others to keep them
MS dcccnt as possible Even in foam
drios aud rolling mills, where men
carry constantly rough iron castings
and gritty Substances, those mocha
MICS who are neat have preparation
containing oil which they use upon
their hands when washing tEcm,
which makes them white aud com
paratively soft. If these can have
pleasant hands, anybody can.
That man, wcthor farmer or 9TH
or person, who pridcs himself on II
smoked, bacon colorcl list, hnrl asa
horses hoof, with black mills md
creascs Of dirt in all tho wrinkles, is
not nice man to live with.
Above all is the touch OF WON.
ans warm, elastic palm soothing.
Therefore, all the sex, including oven
scrub women, should keep their
bands as pretty as possible.
Ii is easier than you think for.
Don't go out without gloves. II is
not neat or ladyilke to do 80. kcnp
your bands clean, but don't ovordo
| it. Don't scour thom constantly
with soap. At night, just before re-
tiring, wash them well, then moister
them lightly With water, and pour
into the palm of one drop or two
of glyceriue. Rub this thoroughly
all over your hands and wrists. i
will make the skin delicate and silk,
to the touch. IL viii '"'"" ""''""'.
| prevent tue hands from chnpping
No matter how rough your work is,
DO this every night Of your life md
You will havo nice hands. Old, loose
gloves drawn on after tho Elycorine
is applied, and worn ut night, arc
still better Do not apply tho ely.
cerine without tho wator. IL ia too
heavy and heating. Glycorine is the
best adjunct of a woman S toilet that
has been discovered in n century.
II is extremely healing to cuts und
wounds upon the skin BE sure,
however, to set aPare article. OH
erwise it will grow stale and make
tho skin yellow.
Finally, for goddess sake don't
bite your nails Let them grow as
even as possible, then cut or file them
neatly. A nail brush brisklyapplicd
is good for removing from around
them whatever ouGhtn't to be there.
The mauicures aud druggists now
keep neat little sots Of instruments
for tho nails They consist Of file
scissors, brush, polishor md little
boxes OF powder. This is rosy
powder, with which The nails are poll
Ished till they shine brilliantly. A
loloring matter il also used which
gives nails and finger tips soft pink
luo' The pointed fashion of trim-
ming the nails is all out Of fashion
now. SO is that hileous, bsrbarous
'ancy Of letting the nail grow long
ike vulturo's claw Don't do it,
Trim the nails to neat, tapcring
shape If yon let them grow natnr-
'lly they will shape themselves in
ho best form Some say any ybody's g
iugor ends can bs made to taper by
quee2iu8 aud moldiug and pulling
hem gently from the sides with the |
humb and finger OF tho other hand. !
DO this several times day, and it is
laimed that at lonSth they will be
whipped in."
